Oh, the blissful first days of new love! We're swept up in the emotional highs, the exciting new experiences, the stomach-tingling thrill of falling for someone new. It can be pretty dang awesome and happen so quickly.

But falling out of love is a totally different story. Frankly, falling out of love sucks. It can be downright painful. Whether our own feelings change or we’re committed to someone who no longer loves us back, it can be simply awful.

And there's no quick cure for the suffering. Sadly though, many of us make that pain much, much worse by not managing our thoughts and emotions. We put ourselves on the 'mind game emotional roller coaster torture ride' of our own making.

Losing love is simply awful, but be careful that you don't multiply the pain. It's a really easy hole for any of us to fall into. If you've fallen out of love and don't know how to stop torturing yourself, ask a mental health pro for help.
